THREE LEVEL BASEMENT
BCentral entrusted Di Martino Earthworks with a challenging three-level basement project in the heart of Caulfield. Their scope included preparing the piling pad, supplying compaction testing, bulk excavation, cartage, shotcrete detail, pad footing excavation, and crane base excavation.
Located on a 1300m² site with a single access point on busy Glen Huntly Road, the project required careful coordination. Di Martino Earthworks delivered a tested and approved piling pad for a 40T CFA piling rig and staged works to align with multiple shotcrete sprays and anchor rows. Despite challenging weather, material deliveries were efficiently managed, and all scheduled milestones were met.
